Rachal is a native to northern Virginia. After earning her B.S. in Psychology from Virginia Tech she decided to move to California to become an acupuncturist. While living in San Diego, CA she received her Master’s degree in Chinese Medicine. While the California sun was certainly a plus she decided to move back to her hometown to open her acupuncture practice in 2007.

She has worked with many patients over the years who’s conditions include a variety of musculoskeletal issues and pain management; digestive disorders; women’s issues, including fertility issues; emotional stressors, including anxiety and depression management; smoking cessation; respiratory problems; diabetes and cholesterol management and support; fibromyalgia; endocrine disorders, headaches and migraines and numerous other acute and chronic issues, as Chinese medicine treats holistically to balance the body and encourage it to heal and regulate all of the body systems.

Rachal is an acupuncturist and Chinese herbalist licensed Nationally as well as by the State of Virginia’s board of medicine. She is a Diplomate of the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) in both Acupuncture and Chinese Herbology (Dipl. OM).

Her Master’s degree in traditional Chinese medicine (MSTOM) is from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego, CA. She has over 4000 hours of training in acupuncture, Chinese herbology, therapeutic massage, Asian medical theory, nutrition and western sciences. Rachal is an active member of the American Association of Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine, Virginia Acupuncture Society and the American Acupuncture Council and has over a decade of private practice experience.

Rachal primarily practices traditional Chinese medicine with an emphasis on organ (zang fu) diagnosis but she also has training in the Balance method and Japanese style, giving her a range of techniques to help even the most sensitive patient. Traditional Chinese medicine not only encompasses acupuncture but many other modalities. Rachal has extensive experience in cupping, gua sha, e-stim, moxabustion, tui na, Chinese herbal medicine and holistic nutrition. Chinese herbals are not only a wonderful compliment to acupuncture for many ailments but can also be a wonderful standalone treatment plan for people that may be worried about needles. Because she understands that most people may be wary of acupuncture needles at first, Rachal tries to make sure each treatment is in a calm and inviting atmosphere. She encourages everyone to take an active part in their healing process, through education as well as empowerment, by giving them health and wellness tips throughout their healing process. Because every patient is unique she will utilize many holistic techniques to help her patients achieve their optimal health and well-being.

Our eyelash extensions can provide you with both a natural and glamorous look. With each extension application our stylists will also explain some care tips for maintaining your lashes and ensuring they last as long as possible. Lashes should last up to two months but we recommend biweekly touch-ups to ensure constant glamour and good looks. Because eyelashes fall out naturally we do not recommend waiting more than two weeks to get a touch-up and replace the eyelashes that fell out.

We offer various different lash types including; silk, mink, and flares. Our stylists all use Bella lash for the best quality products and have attended Bella lash training and certification programs annually in order to keep up to date with the best techniques and methods.
